Fish in Spicy Tomato Sauce (4)

A recipe from Messina, Sicily, which I found in Rachel Roddy’s ” Two Kitchen’s” . It is traditionally made with swordfish but cod, bream and hake also work well. Serve with bread to mop up the juices , or with rice, couscous or plain boiled potatoes.

Turkey Hash (2-4)

With Thanksgiving a couple of days ago and Christmas on the horizon I thought it would be timely to post a recipe for leftover Turkey. Its from Nigella Lawson’s ” Nigella’s Christmas”, but she credits the original version to her friend and agent Ed Victor. It goes well with a baked potato and green salad.
